Another One Done

I sent Coins for the Dead (Tales from the Thousand Worlds Book 1) to my editor late yesterday. I’m really curious about what she thinks of it. Though my usual space opera scifi, it’s different from my other books in terms of the main characters, the story line, and the writing style.
